Frenemies

Hierarchy shmierarchy.

"Jungkook... I'd hate to beat a dead horse but, are you sure you don't like Jin, even just a little?" Namjoon said, taking an abnormally large bite and struggling to chew after.

"Hell no." Jungkook denied his accusation.

"If you say so." Yoongi spoke for Namjoon, seeing as his face was stuffed to the brim–it made Yoongi chuckle, and Namjoon ignored the light blush in Jungkook's cheeks, for the boy's own sake. Yoongi would mention it nonstop if he had pointed it out.

"Listen, I only see him as a rival. I'm trying to establish myself in the hierarchy of this place."

"Establish yourself?" Yoongi asked, wanting to know why anyone would want to establish themself anywhere.

"Hierarchy?" Namjoon asked, mostly asking what could have prompted Jungkook to use such a big word.

"Yes, I want to make good use of my time, and to me that includes taking a little slice of the authority that's offered to the students here. Now is that so bad?" Jungkook defended.

"It sounds to me like you just want an excuse to mess with Seokjin." Yoongi pointed out, the obvious subtext being that Jungkook just wanted to get closer to Jin in his own weird, distant, "I'd rather not admit I have emotions" way.

"Exactly, so will you help me?" Jungkook asked, missing what Yoongi was insinuating, hopeful that his friends would back him up.

'Yeah, why not." Yoongi said, still typing, but figuring that he could use something to fill his free time, and what better to fill it than a little game of "Yoongi: Matchmaker extraordinaire." Jungkook was just excited to gain a new partner in crime.

"Joon?" Jungkook said, just now realizing that both of Namjoon's headphones were in, and he probably hadn't heard him at all. "Joon!" He nearly shouted to grab the man's attention, and it seemed to work as Namjoon widened his eyes with a questioning look at the younger boy. He got the hint and removed his headphones to hear what the guy had to say. "Will you help me prank Seokjin-Hyung?" He asked, hoping he would say yes. Namjoon scrunched his face in mock thought, his eyes wandering as if he were searching for an answer while stroking his chin before inevitably answering with the point of his finger and a blunt "No!" He smiled pleasantly and went back to whatever he had been watching.

"That's fine, Yoongi is an ample enough team." Jungkook said leaning back into his chair, both men actively ignoring him for their homework, but Jungkook was content to begin hatching his master plan.
